there's a more than one guy over there, here is the new one from Matt McGuire-

Quote:

15 Houston Texans: Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU
I really think the Texans could release Anthony Weaver this offseason after he failed to generate a single sack in 2008. Left defensive end becomes a need here and Jackson is the top one currently on the board. Watch out, because the Texans might take a shocker pick in Rashad Johnson or Louis Delmas at free safety.

46Houston Texans: Louis Delmas, S, Western Michigan
Will Demps was benched for Nick Ferguson, and Texans beat writer John McClain does not think Ferguson will be back. Free safety is a huge need and Delmas can be the captain of the defensive backfield the Texans have always lacked. This pick also greatly helps out Tyson Jackson (previous pick), Mario Williams, and Amobi Okoye to generate more coverage sacks.

I am not sure that your boy Delmas makes it into round 2. I currently have him at the top of the Safety class. If he slid though he would be a HUGE steal. I am also not a huge Tyson Jackson fan. I don't think he did that much last year and does not come across to me as a worthy first rounder.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but I did want to plug the fact that my latest Texans mock will be posted this week. I can't wait to hear your thoughts. Just as a teaser, I have a potential surprise pick for the Texans in round 1....

Texans mock? I'm not as big with just doing one team mocks as I am with 32 team mocks, but I look forward to seeing who you got the Texans picking.

18. Chicago Bears: Larry English, DE, Northern Illinois
Larry English is made for the 3-4, but I think he could definitely work well in a Tampa-2 4-3 scheme. English's stock is on fire after an impressive showing at the Senior Bowl.

So at the eighteen....English works for the Bears but not the Texans at the 15 ?

And then he comes back in the second and lays the under achieving SS on us... and by his own mock....there are two high end corners left on the board and a guy who projects to a sam backer with a pass rush. I don't get it.

Well sometimes when you take a cant miss Mathew Stanford....he turns out to be David Carr. Or Ryan Leif, that's what kills a franchise for five or ten years. Not laying a foundation. And yes, they're making seventy million they can't sit and watch no more Scott.

I think it's odd that Jenkins' slow 40 drops him to 10 but Maybin's slow 40 propels him into top 10 consideration...

I can see the Rams getting a QB early this year, but I don't think it will be the 1st round.

I didn't get to see the combine drills so I don't know about English playing LB for us. Someone who saw him work out could observe that better.

I really do not see Brace as a 1st rounder. At all.

15. Houston Texans (8-8) – Larry English, DE/OLB, Northern Illinois

Quote:

English could make a big impact early on for the Texans, who would likely play him on the outside of DeMeco Ryans. With a suddenly-strong linebacking group behind a strong, young defensive line, the Texans would make establish a powerful defense for years to come.

intriquing prospect. I had him projected late 1st early 2nd so could be ideal if Rick Smith works another trade down scenero. the problem I have is projecting him to OLB instead of his natural position RDE. when all is said & done he could be one of the best in his class & fit in perfectly with what Texans need as they keep Mario @ LDE. great upside, can drop & cover (limited) better used downhill pressure on QB. hips smooth/change of direction, decent strenth great explosion first step, vertical 36"
